Decontaminate & deodorize
Attic & Crawl-Space Cleanup in Gresham, OR
Remove contaminated insulation, sanitize, deodorize, and seal.
After removal, droppings, urine, and soiled insulation stay behind as a health hazard and an odor source. We remove contaminated material, sanitize, deodorize, and seal so rodents aren’t drawn back by leftover scent trails.
Why attic and crawl-space cleanup matters
After rodents are removed, their droppings, urine, and soiled insulation are left behind — a genuine health hazard and a persistent odor source. Rodent droppings and urine can carry pathogens, and in enclosed spaces dust from them is a real concern, which is why cleanup is done with proper PPE and safe disposal rather than a shop vac and a mask. Contaminated insulation also loses its R-value, so the mess costs you on your heating bill too. Just as important, the scent trails rodents leave behind actively attract new rodents to the same space — cleaning it out is part of keeping them gone.
Our decontamination process
We remove the soiled insulation and nesting material, HEPA-vacuum and sanitize the space, deodorize to neutralize the smell at the source, re-insulate where needed, and seal the entry points that let the rodents in to begin with. That last step is what separates a real cleanup from a temporary one: decontaminate without sealing and you’re just resetting the clock. Attic and crawlspace cleanup pairs naturally with exclusion and, when a carcass is involved, dead-rodent removal.
Clearing the odor for good
Lingering rodent smell doesn’t come from thin air — it comes from urine, droppings, and decomposing carcasses. Air freshener only masks it, and it comes right back. The only thing that actually removes the odor is taking out the contaminated material and sanitizing and deodorizing the surfaces underneath. If the smell points to a dead rodent in a wall or void, that gets located and removed as part of the job.
What attic cleanup costs in Gresham
Cleanup is priced by the size of the affected area, how heavy the contamination is, and whether insulation needs to be removed and replaced. A small, localized mess is a modest job; a whole attic that’s been soiled over a long infestation is a larger one. We assess the space for free and give you an upfront quote before we start, so there are no surprises.
How it works
From worried to protected in four steps
A clear, no-surprise process — most homes are inspected within days and treated in a single visit.
- 1
Inspect & Identify
We check the attic, crawlspace, foundation, roofline, and utility penetrations to find every entry point, locate the nesting, and identify exactly which rodent you’re dealing with.
- 2
Seal the Entry Points
We close the gaps, vents, and roofline openings rodents use with durable rodent-proof materials — the step that makes the results permanent instead of temporary.
- 3
Remove the Rodents
We trap and remove the active population with patient, multi-point placement matched to the species, then follow up to confirm the problem is gone.
- 4
Decontaminate & Guarantee
We sanitize and deodorize any contaminated attic or crawlspace and back the seal-up with a workmanship guarantee, so a covered failure is our problem, not yours.
